Fasting when you have a cold/flu?

Hi! Just wondering, how do you guys manage to maintain your fast when feeling sick? Personally, I don’t like to take medication unless I’ve had something to eat.. I’ve been drinking teas to get me through until meal times and I wanted to know if adding ginger and lemon to my tea would break my fast? Oh and I’m guessing no Strepsils/Halls/Cough drops? Thanks!

Answer

Lemon and ginger will not break your fast. As well cough drops should be fine. When I am sick I will do what is called a “dirty fast” and drink bone broth until meal time if I am starving. Hope you feel better soon.
